Re: The smart ant's and flea's
I can't decide whether to make a undercuter or a vertical spinner
so I decided to let you choose what kills you at the next event
what would you prefer and any tips on how to make a good one?

Re: The smart ant's and flea's
I prefer undercutters to verticals solely because there are more verticals out there (says the guy with two verticals.. ). Generally speaking, verticals are better for throwing robots, undercutters are better for smashing them up... They're both pretty stable designs if you can get the blade balanced, though in theory verticals don't throw themselves around as much.
What sort of blade do you have?

Re: The smart ant's and flea's
if you go for a verticle, make sure the verticle mount for the brushless motor is rigid or you may end up hitting yourself.

Tbh, whatever spinner you go for it needs to be firmly attached to the chassis! :L

Re: The smart ant's and flea's
we are 3d printing the robot and are motor has mounting holes on it so mounting it is not a problem hear is the link http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/stor ... Motor.html
the only reason I was not going to do a undercuter is because I don't want to bend the motor shaft when the blade hits something do you think this would be a problem given the shaft is 3mm thick and well supported by the barings
whit a vertical I could support the other end of the shaft
the disk will be one of will's so it should be balanced.

Re: The smart ant's and flea's
That shaft only looks to be about 3mm long so it will be difficult to mount the blade on the end.
I would always mount the blade around the outer case where it is between the bearings but that requires a large hole in the blade or mount see below.

Re: The smart ant's and flea's
that's the same motor i'm using for my spinner. aparently it gets good speed so quite a good one. i've been told that best way to mount the blade is to use a 3D printed mount. that shouldn't be too much of a problem if you have easy access to a 3D printer. good luck and remember to be careful, even when the blade isn't on spinners are still dangerous.

Re: The smart ant's and flea's
The motor you have I just finished designing an adapter for wills discs to fit on.
It's a fairly easy way to do it and it is quite strong if you use the screws and have the adapter sit around the spokes.

do you have the stl file? pm me
Re: The smart ant's and flea's
It's just a simple design based off of hexa-choppers:
